objects, which are assigned to the specified BW user and which are
applicable to the specified InfoProvider.
<ZH>PLEASE NOTE </>that this characteristic might be already available
in the BW authorization object. However this characteristic is not
allowed during authorization replication<(>,<)> because at least one of
the following restrictions applies to the defined authorization value
intervals in transaction RSECAUTH:
A defined interval <ZH>contains value #</> in the "from" column (not
defined)
A defined interval <ZH>contains value +</> in the "from" or "to" column
(wildcard)
A defined interval <ZH>contains value :</> in the "from" column
(aggregation)
These values cannot be replicated and are ignored. This check is only
performed when replicating the authorizations to SAP HANA. Therefore a
user might be allowed to access the data of an InfoProvider in BW, but
not using the generated external SAP HANA view.
